Description: Monitors IKEv1/IKEv2 phase-1 SA negotiations and tunnel state for IPsec on HP/Comware VPN gateways.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is HPN-ICF-IKE-MONITOR-MIB?

HPN-ICF-IKE-MONITOR-MIB is an HP/Comware ICF MIB providing statistics on Internet Key Exchange (IKE) tunnels used to establish IPsec VPN security associations. It exposes per-tunnel and aggregate IKE statistics, letting a manager query the state of a specific IKE tunnel or enumerate all active tunnels on the device. This is primarily a software/protocol-state monitoring MIB: it tracks whether IKE phase negotiations are succeeding, how many tunnels are up, and where negotiations are failing, which is essential for diagnosing VPN connectivity problems before they escalate to full outages. IKE monitoring naturally depends on the underlying IPsec/IKE protocol standards (RFC 2409/7296) even though this MIB itself is a vendor-specific wrapper. It is deployed on HP/H3C Comware VPN gateway routers terminating site-to-site or remote-access IPsec tunnels. Engineers can download the HPN-ICF-IKE-MONITOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in HPN-ICF-IKE-MONITOR-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • HP/H3C Comware VPN gateway router

Monitoring Examples

The module description states this MIB is designed to retrieve statistics for a specific IKE tunnel or for all IKE tunnels on the device, but no concrete object or table names were provided in the source excerpt, so a precise polling example cannot be grounded in real identifiers. In practice, an administrator would use such counters to check active tunnel counts and negotiation failure counts, spotting a spike in failures as a sign of misconfigured pre-shared keys or peer unavailability.

What Can Be Monitored

  • active IKE tunnel count
  • per-tunnel negotiation state
  • IKE negotiation failures
  • aggregate IKE tunnel statistics

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using hpnicfIKEGlobalInOctets OID:

Select an HP/H3C Comware VPN gateway router (IKE tunnel statistics) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type hpnicfIKEGlobalInOctets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. The total number of octets received by all currently and previously active IPsec Phase-1 IKE Tunnels. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
